45. The Arrogant Sons of Bitches (w/ Indica in Decay)
Time to re-enter the Jeff Rosenstock-verse as Checkered Past dives in on the highly influential and brief run of Long Island Ska Punkers, Arrogant Sons of Bitches! To do this, Rob and Celine welcome Ilan of Indica In Decay and Sad Snack to break down the band's entire run from their rough hewn debut, to their flurry of EPs to their problem-riddled final record and the lasting influence they had on the genre. Before they do that, Ilan discusses their comic meets synth project Indica In Decay, the Long Island Ska scene and the glory of concept albums. The episode is capped off with a game of That's F**ked/You're Sh**ting Me.

INDICA IN DECAY STORY!
Wherein our hero Indica, a drunk and desperate fame chaser of a drummer, comes to posses a magical guitar, Excalibur.
This guitar writes unquestionably perfect songs for those who posses it, chosen by the ancient Lady of the Lake, but has driven her former bandleader/lover Arthur to suicide.
Will the songs Excalibur writes for Indica bring the stardom she's sought? Will that actually make her happy?
And what fiends will try to take Excalibur from her?
How far will they go???
